Hi I'm Lincoln. I appreciate that you reading this is a reflection of your own curiosity and showing up for yourself! Therapy is a safe, collaborative, and respectful space to work with you towards lessening your struggles and achieving your goals. Our work together is an opportunity to shift from scripts, wounding and habit patterns of your past and more fully enter the present moment with clarity, belief in yourself, and strength to act. Ultimately, our work together can decrease your stress, cultivate a more comfortable relationship with yourself and others, and overall lead to more possibilities and self-empowerment.

Do you feel tense and uneasy, or have fearful thoughts and worries? Are you struggling with patterns and behaviors that feel out of balance? Do you feel like you don’t belong or there’s something wrong with you? Do you want to learn about the patterns of your mind and body and create new patterns more in alignment with your hopes for yourself?

I specialize in working with people experiencing anxiety and depression, but I also see clients for a wide variety of challenges including procrastination, perfectionism, family and relationship concerns, and self-esteem. Additionally, I often work with clients with a diverse range of sexual orientations and gender identities, and with those in non-monogamous relationships. Together we can find ways to help you feel better and live more fully, consciously, and comfortably.

You’re trying to figure out why life should feel great, but it doesn’t. You tried therapy in the past, and you’re not sure it will work for you. You’re willing to step out of your comfort zone to save your relationships or process some big life changes. I’m Dave, a therapist who will challenge you with direct feedback and insights that will actually work for you.

My approach to therapy is compassionate and direct. I will be respectful, but I will also be honest. I routinely give homework assignments as part of therapy, with the belief that if you accomplish the task you will start to experience the change you seek. I will try to understand both the nature and context of your problem and the potential impact of change before I offer helpful solutions. I will ask you about where you are trying to go, and we will work together to develop a practical plan to help you get there.

My goal is to help you have a happier and more satisfying sex life, without pain, distress or shame. With over a decade of experience as a Nurse Practitioner in the field of sexual health, my biopsychosocial approach to your care will include advice about both physiological and psychological factors that may be contributing to your sexual concerns. I am happy see clients of all genders and sexual orientations and I am supportive of all relationship styles.

I'm William Venturelli and I run Atma Counseling. Do you feel like you can't truly be yourself? Do you feel like something is holding you back? I can help you gain a better understanding of the "why's" in your life. Have you ever asked yourself "why do I keep doing that?" "why am I like this?" or "why do I feel this way?" We can explore these themes and more in a way that honors your uniqueness and without any judgment. Your counseling experience here will not be rigid or preconceived, instead, it will be a process of discovery where you will begin to live with more choice, courage and freedom. It's time to rediscover yourself.

I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an evidence based treatment designed to work with individuals and families affected by all specialties and issues listed on my page. Treating challenges like anxiety, depression and OCD, requires a collaborative and supportive process tailored to each individual. With the right treatment it is possible to see significant changes in symptoms so you can spend more time pursing what is most important to you. I offer telehealth based appointments within the states of Oregon, Vermont, and New Hampshire and offer in-person appointments within the Portland, OR area.

In my work with you, I will focus on finding creative solutions to your unmet life-needs. I work with individuals needing help with Anxiety Disorders, Couples Counseling, ADHD and Gifted populations and more. My clients consistently describe me as warm, interactive, compassionate, and effective. My approach is practical, solutions-focused, highlighting both your strengths and growth areas for more adaptive living. Your treatment will include evidence-based treatments that are efficient and effective, such as: CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy), Exposure Therapy and Biofeedback.

The treatment I offer is holistic. I work with body, mind and spirit to bring about wholeness and harmony with your self and life. I offer a deep compassion for the difficult issues while at the same nurturing your inner strengths and resilience. I meet you where you are at in your journey, and together we engage in an experiential and exploratory process to identify what approach will best support your growth and result in a more embodied, connected and fulfilling life.

Whether you are new to seeking therapy or are well-versed with the process, I am committed to creating a warm and respectful space to support your sense of self and potential for growth. I work with individuals including children, teens, and adults. Do you find it difficult to cope with the challenges of family, work, or school? Has a recent circumstance caused you to feel lost or uncertain? Have your past traumas distorted your self-view as someone who is broken or unworthy? You can heal and I’m here to help. Together, we’ll build upon the talents and skills you already have to reach your future goals.

I am a Clinical Pastoral Counselor who practices in Tigard, (Portland), Oregon. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a graduate of Liberty University (Ph.D, 2022) and Loyola University (M.S., 2009). ​I recently transitioned to teaching and have reduced my client load to a minimum. I am unable to accept new clients at this time.

Maybe your teen or partner is depressed? Stuck on Internet Porn? Maybe you have somehow been victimized? Feel anxious, or alone? Loss of loved ones? I offer a relationship based, non-judgmental approach informed by tested, evidence-based practices, including CBT and EMDR therapies - neither of which demand medication. EMDR directly targets traumatic or hurtful memories and helps put them "in the past." This has been shown to help with anxiety/fear, panic attacks, nightmares, self-esteem issues and various other symptoms associated with post traumatic stress. CBT further offers you the chance to not be overwhelmed by your experience.

Support for the curious. My counseling practice is centered around assisting clients in creating a deeper conscious connection to self. I guide clients into greater integration using mindful somatic psychotherapy (Hakomi), illuminating inner processes, disowned parts of self, well-practiced strategies for surviving and thriving, longings and desires, dreams and fears. With greater insight we can create a life in better alignment with ourselves. I work with an attachment and trauma-informed lens, and also use creative practices in my work. As an acupuncturist, philosophies from East Asian Medicine also inform my counseling work.

“The wound is the place where the light enters you” – Rumi. Life stressors can contribute to feelings of anxiety, depression, loneliness, and even hopelessness. If you are feeling any of these, know that you are not alone. I trust in the power of therapy to re-examine stressful situations in a therapeutic environment. I am passionate about working with children, families, individuals, and couples to help identify barriers and dysfunctions; and to help facilitate positive changes to reinstate normal functions.

My goal is to foster a collaborative and supportive environment in order to help my clients identify barriers to happiness and fulfillment in their lives, and then work together to set achievable goals to overcome those barriers. I value working with diverse populations, ensuring equitable access of care to all, and have a strong interest in social justice matters.

I am a licensed psychotherapist (LCSW) available for anxiety and trauma recovery. I am here to help with stress management, PTSD, and ADHD. I provide trauma informed therapy for people who may be overcoming a painful period of life. With a bit of work you can have a greater sense of peace, hope, and confidence.
